The check-in process was easy. There was someone waiting at the apartment for my arrival. The room was very clean and there were lots of nice amenities like big, fluffy towels, bottled water, and cold air conditioning. The only negative thing about the room was the presence of a fair amount of mold on the bathroom ceiling. Regardless, you can't beat the price. As for the location, it was about a 10 minute walk from the nearest station, but there was a convenience store nearby, and near the station was a big shopping center with restaurants and shopping. There's a market with a lot of food stalls in the rear of the shopping center, as well as a popular restaurant nearby called "The Queen of Curry". The area felt safe, but as with all of Bangkok, it felt a bit dirty and neglected. This is nice for me because I enjoy seeing how people live in the absence of what we take for granted in the west, but guests worried about open sewers, stray animals, and street hawkers should probably steer away from central Bangkok. Overall, I had a great experience and fully recommend the place to anyone wanting to experience the real Bangkok.
